They are really good friends and often played together. They even live in the same neighborhood. Their families often do things together, such as picnics and camping trips. But things sure have changed since they started middle school. Hector has recently been going to the gym after school, reading weight lifting books, and lifting weights to build up his muscles. Hector likes to play soccer and basketball with Sam and Sonny in his spare time. He plans to try out for the school team next year. Hector spends less time with Dawn now than he used to and more time with Sonny. Dawn spends a lot of time in the bathroom looking in the mirror, fixing her hair, putting on make-up, and taking showers. Dawn tries on just about everything in her closet every morning trying to decide what to wear to school. Just last year, she hated showers and did not care what her hair or clothes looked like. Now things are different. She wants to fit in with the other girls at school. Dawn’s best friend Samantha still thinks boys are yucky. However, Dawn has taken an interest in Hector. Samantha thinks that is the most disgusting thing she has ever heard. So now, Dawn feels uncomfortable talking to Samantha about Hector so she begins talking to Shelby, a new classmate, about him. Dawn begins inviting Shelby over to do things. Dawn and Samantha are beginning to drift apart. This past weekend, Hector and Dawn’s families were going camping. Neither one of them wanted to go because they wanted to go the movies with some of their friends Camping Grade 6 Objective 2.07, Appendix 1 used to be an activity that Dawn and Hector used to beg their parents to do on the weekends.

Materials needed: Video clip from a popular movie about parenting Internet access Appendix 1 – Parenting Questions, cut into strips Focus: Option 1 Show a short video clip about the challenges of parenting. Possible videos to select from are Cheaper by the Dozen, The Pursuit of Happiness, Daddy Daycare, or Three Men and a Baby. Show a clip which shows the reality of parenting rather than one which glamorizes the experience. Follow up with these questions: How old were these parents? What kinds of challenges did these parents face? Option 2 Display Costs of Raising a Child Calculator for your class. This simple yet mindboggling tool allows students to view the total amount needed to raise a child to adulthood. This webpage details annual costs of raising a child in the following areas: housing, food, transportation, clothing, childcare, education and college along with a total amount needed to raise a child to adulthood. www.babycenter.com/costofchild/ [The “terms of use” on this site indicate not for children under the age of 13. Do not assign the site to the students; simply show the page related to costs of raising a child.] Review: Grade 6 Objective 2.08, page 13 NC Association for the Advancement of Health Education NC Comprehensive School Health Training Center Do a bit of brainstorming to get students thinking about their futures and the kinds of real-life decisions they'll soon face. Where would students like to be in their lives at age 22? What kinds of jobs would they like to have? Do they plan to go to college? Would they like to become parents? Where would students like to be in their lives when they are 30 years old? Ask each student to list on paper five goals for adulthood. Students are to briefly share goals with a partner. As a class, have students indicate by a show of hands if they included a goal for their education, career, health, marriage, and parenthood. Tally and summarize for each of the five areas. Statement of Objectives: Many of you will become parents in the future. Today we are going to discuss parenthood and the responsibilities that parenting requires. By the end of the lesson, you will be able to analyze the parental role in the upbringing of a child. Teacher Input: Ask students the following question, “What does it take to be a good parent?” Students are to generate a list of answers, recorded by the teacher. After brainstorming session, teacher will introduce 3 primary aspects of parenting. Class discussion can be expanded as necessary to address issues/concerns of the students. Physical care: o Reliably providing shelter, education, medical care, physical safety, and nourishment. Social development and emotional support: o Love, play, and physical touch o Social skills and etiquette o Ethics and value systems o Moral and spiritual development o Norms and contributions to the child's religion and ethnic customs Financial support: o Money provided as child support by custodial or non-custodial parent(s), or the state o Insurance coverage and payments for education Guided Practice: Option 1 Grade 6 Objective 2.08, page 14 NC Association for the Advancement of Health Education NC Comprehensive School Health Training Center Working in groups of 4. Distribute one parenting question card to each group (created from Appendix 1). Group members will read the following changes parenting will bring. They are to spend time discussing the specific ways parenting will change their lifestyle and be prepared to share their groups’ response with the class. Option 2 To help students understand the gravity of pregnancy for teen parents, their families, and the children, have them explore some of the following websites and report back on what they learned about the topic that surprised them. o How might an unplanned pregnancy affect a student's future plans? o How might it affect the unborn child if the mother and father aren’t prepared for pregnancy? Posing such questions will benefit students who plan to become parents and those who do not.

How do people's lives change when you prepare for parenting either through pregnancy or adoption? And, how do people's lives change once they have children? 2. What are some challenges and joys of being a parent? 3. What is important to have in place in your life before you become a parent? 4. How do people know when they are ready to become parents? Discuss some of the similar responses students received during their interviews. Option 2 Students are to spend at least two hours (include one mealtime) with a parent and child (toddler or preschooler). Document activities, child behavior, parenting situations, and how conflicts were resolved. Students are to describe parenting they witnessed. Were any of these surprising? (For example, you didn’t know that five-yearolds still needed help going to the bathroom or pouring their own drink). Closure: In this lesson, we have analyzed the role of a parent and how parenting changes your life. The responsibility of caring for another person can be overwhelming. You will want to choose a time for parenting when you are sure you are ready for all the responsibility and have reached other important goals for education and financial independence.

Your child just spilled a gallon of apple juice all over the floor after being told 15 times before not to get food out of the refrigerator on her own. How would you react? How would you avoid taking things out on a child if you lost your temper? Grade 6 Objective 2.08, page 21 NC Association for the Advancement of Health Education NC Comprehensive School Health Training Center PUBERTY WALK Explain to your class that the next activity is very simple but requires close attention to instructions. The most important rule is that they must be absolutely quiet during the activity – no talking allowed until it is over! Have them form a group on one side of the room and explain that you will come into the group and tap someone lightly on the shoulder. When they are tapped, they should walk slowly across the room to the other side and turn around to face the original group. Demonstrate for them the slow, even pace you want them to use. Be sure to ask if there are any questions before you begin. There is no rhyme or reason to how as the teacher selects who is tapped. In fact, that is part of the lesson! The basic guidelines are these: The first person tapped should walk alone for most or all of the way, then send one more person, then perhaps two close together. Remember, you are trying to visually demonstrate pubertal development, so a few people will “go it alone” and then a fairly large middle group should go together or very close together. Repeat your pace and selection from the beginning of the activity at the end – a few people will be last. You should save the last person to walk slowly alone across the floor to the group, which will be waiting somewhat impatiently, no doubt. Usually, the group cheers the final “loner.” As you probably remember, the processing/learning from this activity is easy to facilitate. Ask the person who went first what it was like. They will say things like, “I felt weird! Everybody was watching me. I was wondering why I went first?” Ask the people who went as a group how they felt. They are usually the most comfortable and say things like, “I was glad I didn’t go alone.” Ask the first loner how he or she felt when other people started arriving at the other side of the room. He or she will say, “Relieved! I felt less singled out. It was good to have other people with me.” Ask the “stragglers” how they felt. Usually they will say things like, “I wondered why you weren’t picking me…. Why other people got to go and I got left behind.” Grade 6 Objective 2.08, page 22 NC Association for the Advancement of Health Education NC Comprehensive School Health Training Center Ask how they felt when they were finally tapped. Check in with the last person. How did he or she feel? You can imagine the response! They usually say they were relieved to be tapped but it was agonizing walking slowly across the floor knowing everybody was waiting for you. “I just wanted to hurry up and get over there!” Tell the group the name of this activity. Explain that many of the feelings they expressed are the feelings people can have during puberty. Going first is embarrassing, not really fun. You want other people to get going. When you develop at the same time with a larger group, you may feel more “normal” though it still is not easy. Being the last is tough, too. You get the idea!
